Drill

Against School Response Many would agree that school is important, including myself. However, just because it’s important doesn’t mean it’s always pleasant for the students (or teachers, apparently.) In fact, sometimes, besides school being an unpleasant experience, it can ultimately end up being a big waste of time. Not just for the student, or even the teacher, but everyone that attended a school that didn’t care about their students. Like John Gatto said in his insightful article “Against…

shape for games. During the fall we did a whole lot more tackling . We tackled so much that I almost broke my arm doing it. Kids would even pretend to throw just so they could get out of tackling drills. Then we would do individual work for specialization. After that we came together for more tackling drills. Then we put together all the plays that we learned, add new ones, split the team up, and play against each other. We did this until we couldn’t see…

One of the many controversial topics in the United States in present day is gun control. Within the constitution, we the people are clearly given the right to bear arms. In recent times the misuse of the Second Amendment has done more harm than good. Where should the line be drawn? School is a safe zone for many adolescents to get away from troubles at home as well as the world around them—it is a place for education to take place. The thought of mass shootings in our local schools is…

pollutants with them and polluting the surrounding area it definitely makes the list of causes. There are so many more personal items that cause pollution, for instance electronic drills give off ozone when they drill. That’s what the funny smell is that is released from these electronics. Not all electronics do this but drills do put a fair amount of unhealthy ozone into the atmosphere. Then there is also the other electronics which require fossil fuel made electricity—in the majority of world…

For those who doubt the innovative potential of America 's youth, look no farther than your own gifted child when it is time to do homework. From the dog ate it to we don 't have any this year, your little Mozart has probably produced his or her own lines of genius. Rest assured that America 's lineage of scientists, inventors, and artists will continue. Homework is not the reason. In harnessing this creativity, in fact, it is malnutrition. Thankfully, bright minds happen to be a resilient lot.…

the same drills over and over I started to actually like doing this. We would be playing one on one after he trained me from the beginning. He would always beat me every day we played, but I knew each time we played I was getting better every day. Every time we played because I would start to reduce the score little by little. After playing for more than three weeks straight I would beat him. At that moment I knew playing basketball would change my…

The difference between the movies, The Core and The Martian, would be the logic of scientific principles and ideas. The Core is a movie; where a team tries to drill to the center of the Earth, so that they can restart the rotation of the Earth by blasting the Earth’s core with nuclear missiles. The movie, The Core, had flaws and errors; in which, causes unrealistic standards for science and unjustified the idea of what would really happen in this kind of situation. The main struggle the team…

The first practice I didn’t have a clue on what I was doing, when we lined up for hitting drills I thought it would be fun but little did I know how much it hurt; however, this didn’t take my love for the sport away. On the days that we didn’t have practice I would ask my dad for help on my technique. We would go to the park and I would put on…

expertise is low due to the fact that I do not know all the cadets academic and extracurricular schedules. Likelihood of commitment is also low as if I make a decision alone and it causes scheduling conflicts with cadets, they will not attend extra drill meetings. Group support is high as all cadets are dedicated to training to become the best Air Force officers. Additionally, group expertise is high as cadets know their schedule and what meeting times will and will not fit for them. Finally,…

Problem: how does the angle of trajectory effect the horizontal distance of a bottle rocket Background research: When an object is in the air and has no forces acting on it other than gravity it becomes a projectile. (Henderson, 1996) Gravity causes the projectile to accelerate toward the ground in a uniform arc like a rainbow does. this shape is known by scientists and mathematicians as a parabola, and objects that fly in the shape of a parabola are said to be in parabolic motion. A projectiles…
